I am an artist, and I do a lot of pen and ink work. I own a number of hideously expensive fountain pens, among the other various materials inhabiting what serves as my studio. That said, this pen, after only a few hours, has become one of my very favorite fountain pens. The pen I received is apparently an ef, and it is just that. As a matter of fact, it makes lines that look very much like the .2 Rotring Isograph. I want Platinum to keep making this pen because it is an incredible tool, independent of the cost. The cost is so low it borders on the absurd. I almost didn't buy this pen because of the reviews. Don't let the mediocre/negative reviews sway you. There are people who like fountain pens because they are fountain pens. They obsess over nonsensical issues, such as whether the nib is visible when capped. They are bothered by things such as whether the clip lines up with the nib if the body is transparent. In short, they obsess over things that do not matter to people who value these items as tools, rather than oddities to be collected as a hobby. These also tend to be the people who complain about this pen. I question the value in comparing the pen to the previous version, particularly when there are quite a few who suggest the actual performance of the two pens is pretty much the same. I also question the logic of buying a $9 pen, with a JAPANESE, EXTRA FINE nib, and expecting it to write like a double broad, Mont Blanc 149. Although their rationale makes little (read NO) sense to me, their number is legion and they are typically the ones driven to remark ("review" lends validity to their remarks; I won't do that) negatively on an instrument such as this. For those of you who like to draw, and KNOW HOW TO DRAW WELL, you will likely find this pen an incredible value, and a formidable tool to be added to your arsenal, particularly if you value the inking process as performed with a traditional dip pen. This pen makes lines finer than both of my Pilot 14k posting nibs. It is moderately stiff nib (it is steel), but not a "nail". It travels across quality paper with a satisfying level of "feedback", very much like the experience of using a G pen or other dip pen. I like mine so much, I ordered a second one the next day. I am thinking maybe I should have ordered a dozen. Working with this pen is so unusually enjoyable, that I often FORGET that I am NOT using a dip pen. It is that good. I keep thinking I need to stock up so I don't run out. Weird. Platinum makes superb nibs. Seriously. NOBODY makes better nibs at a better price. I own a few Pilot and Sailor steel nibs as well as many gold nibs, and this gives up nothing to any of them. The only steel nib I find comparable is the nib on the Sailor Pro color. Buy two. Now. Before it's too late. Review: Love it! - I am extremely pleased with this fountain pen. It is light weight which is wonderful for extended writing sessions (or for anyone with hand pain.) It delivers a fine, yet easily visible/readable line. Despite generally preferring medium pens, I LOVE this particular fine nib. It does not feel dry or scratchy. The cap gives a nice click when fully closed. You should note that the cap does not post to the end of the pen, which I do not mind in the least. I have been writing with it extensively with the included cartridge for several weeks now and it has not yet run out of ink and the pen has shown no signs of being inferior in any way. The included carbon ink has been water resistant/proof on all the papers I tested and does not feather, bleed to the other side or smear. This included testing and using on good quality papers, standard copy paper and even thin dollar store notebook paper. I use this pen mostly for writing and also tried it for artwork. It has become my main pen for writing at my desk. I am highly satisfied and recommend this pen. ## Features - Fine Desk Pen (fountain pen) frol Japanese stationary brand Platinum (Fountain Pen), available for black and red body and ink - Platinum Fountain Pen, Desk Pen, Black Body, DPQ-700 in Retali Package - Model: DPQ-700A#1 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006Z10E1S | | Additional Features | Fountain pen | | Age Range (Description) | Adult | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #51,230 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #177 in Fountain Pens | | Body Shape | Round | | Brand | PLATINUM | | Brand Name | PLATINUM | | Closure Type | Snap | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 789 Reviews | | Drill Point | Fine | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04977114910722 | | Grip Type | Smooth | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Included Components | 1 pen | | Ink Base | Water | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Diameter | 11 Millimeters | | Item Dimensions | 0.52 x 7.36 x 0.52 inches | | Item Weight | 0.01 Kilograms | | Line Size | 0_3mm | | Manufacturer | Platinum | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | DPQ-700A#1 | | Pattern | single item | | UPC | 785525731737 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Writing Instrument Form | Fountain Pen | | Writing Technique | fountain pen | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Adult - **Brand:** γƒ—γƒ©γƒγƒŠδΈ‡εΉ΄η­† - **Color:** Black - **Ink Color:** Black - **Writing Instrument Form:** Fountain Pen ## Images ![PLATINUM Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61TetFB2r8L.jpg) ![PLATINUM Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ukq2RBkUL.jpg) ![PLATINUM Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/21CUvK7zfWL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: how does one put the ink cartridge in so ink will flow?** A: Remove the cap of the pen by pulling; it doesn't screw in place. The cap does not post on the back of the pen, so be careful not to lose it. Unscrew the nib from the body of the pen. The cartridge goes inside the body with the small end toward the back of the pen and the larger end toward the nib. If you just place the cartridge inside the pen and screw it closed it will not automatically pierce the cartridge. I have to manually push the cartridge into the nib section of the pen in order to have the feed pierce the cartridge. **Q: My platinum carbon ink pen is just like this shown but has no number on it. can’t find the refill cartridges meant for pen. need waterproof ink. link?** A: This is the pen I purchased. Platinum Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) Take a look at this pen and the description should tell you what carbon ink to purchase. Platinum Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) these are the carbon refills I purchased. **Q: Does this pen come with a top** A: Hello, These do all come with lids. yes. Kind regards, KJ Beckett **Q: What is the tip size? How fine does it write?** A: This one is the same as a fine nib on the Plasir or Preppy. If you want an extra fine line the Platinum Carbon Extra-fine writes a nice very thin line. It is sometimes listed as a superfine nib. I've found if you write with the nib upside down on this pen with the fine nib it will give you a finer line. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ridiculously Good *by J***Y on February 1, 2026* I am only writing this review because I want people to keep buying this product, in order that Platinum continues to make it.

I mostly got this so I could have a good dip pen alternative that was portable and it works excellently for that purpose. The writing/Drawing experience is very good and I am quite enamored with this thing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Platinum Fountain Pen, Black Body (DPQ-700A#1) - Platinum Carbon Ink Cartridges - Black - Platinum Carbon Ink Bottle 60ml - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/31021816-platinum-fountain-pen-black-body-dpq-700a-1](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/31021816-platinum-fountain-pen-black-body-dpq-700a-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
